ABSTRACT
The PowerView application shows how non-standard graphical user interfaces, together with the introduction of links between data of different types, can ease the interaction with digital information on small mobile devices. The information visualization technique used provides a structured and efficient way of displaying information and allows navigation using only four operators. Links between data entries further improve the system by presenting related information together, even when the data belongs to different information domains, User evaluation has shown that the system is as easy to use by novice users as systems based on well-known user interface models.

The advent of mobile devices imposes great challenges for user-friendly displays for effective browsing for Web contents. This paper reports some initial findings in an empirical study that explores the problem of finding a highly-efficient, user-...
The Stack-of-Rings Interface for Large-Scale Image Browsing on Mobile Touch Devices
MM '14: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on MultimediaWe propose a new interface for browsing large image collections on touch-enabled devices, which allows for faster visual search than a common grid interface. The proposed interface consists of 3D rings arranged in a vertical stack. Each ring can be ...
